Upcoming Hongqi E115 Electric SUV has been spied in camouflaged and undisguised forms during road tests in China.

According to spy photos shared by CarNewsChina, the SUV still adopts the bold styling that is similar to the 2019 concept that was unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show last year.

It features an external design inspired by Rolls-Royces “World’s most Luxurious SUV“, the Cullinan.

That’s probably because Hongqi’s current design boss Gilles Taylor used to work for the British luxury brand.
